The chapter equips the reader with a basic understanding of robust psychometric methods that are needed to turn developmental milestones into measurements, introducing the fundamental issues in defining a unit for child development and demonstrates the relevant quantitative methodology. It reviews quantitative approaches to measuring child development; introduces the Rasch model in a non-technical way; shows how to estimate model parameters from real data; puts forth a set of principles for model evaluation and assessment of scale quality; analyses the relation between early D-scores and later intelligence; and compares the D-scores from three studies that all use the same instrument.
本章使读者对将发育里程碑转化为测量所需的稳健心理测量方法有基本的了解，介绍了定义儿童发育单位的基本问题，并展示了相关的定量方法。它回顾了测量儿童发育的定量方法；以非技术方式介绍了拉施模型；展示了如何从实际数据中估计模型参数；提出了一套模型评估和量表质量评估的原则；分析了早期D分数与后期智力之间的关系；并比较了三项使用相同工具的研究中的D分数。
